I had read (can't recall where) that Full Genomes customers in Batch 5 might expect their results 20 Jan 2014. I'm reported to be in Batch 5 but have heard nothing about my status. Does anyone have any news to report?

The most recent news I've seen as of yesterday on Anthrogenica forum is "Results for Batch 5 expected March 1, 2014. (instead of Jan 20, 2014)"

Posted on Anthrogenica by GregRM: "I just finished up some final tweaks today. The updated variantCompare and haplogroupCompare reports are currently being generated for batches 1-4. If all goes as planned, they should be ready for distribution between Friday and early next week.

Here are some rough stats on what you can expect in terms of changes to the SNPs and INDELs identified in the variantCompare report:Approximately 40-80% more SNP candidatesApproximately three to four times as many INDEL candidates; multiple nucleotide polymorphisms (MNPs) (e.g. CT->GC) will now be reported (as low-reliability variants) in this category alongside the INDELsRoughly 5% more high-reliability SNPs (most of the new high-reliability SNPs will be in the shared category; increases to the high-reliability "private" SNP count will be around 1% or lessRoughly 50% more high-reliability INDELs; again the increases will be concentrated among the shared category; some INDELs previously presented as high-reliability will also be demoted; it is possible to see a decrease in the number of high-reliability "private" INDELs

With the updates, we are also adding "full" Y-sequence data from 18 new individuals with publicly available results, for purposes of comparison."

It doesn't compensate for the lack of a database accessible to costumers like finch2 for WTY clients, but any sales service is better than none.
